New collective agreement affects saved vacation

2017-10-25

ANNUAL LEAVE. The new agreement between the employer and trade unions means that you who have more than 30 saved holiday days have five years to take out the excess days.

On October 4, new government agreements between employers and trade unions were completed. The possibility to save vacation days will change from today's 35 days to 30 days. If you have more than 30 leave days saved as of January 1, 2018, the exceeding days need to be used over a five-year period until December 31, 2022. If you have less than 30 leave days saved on January 1, 2018, saved days may not exceed 30 days at any time.

The amendment is part of the new collective agreement between the Swedish Agency for Government Employers and the trade unions OFR / S, P, O, Saco-S and Seko.
